WILL THERE BE QUILTING IN HEAVEN
I know my days are numbered
But what that number is
I cannot hazard single guess
The knowledge solely His.
After I have seen the light
And left my family’s side
I wonder, will my time include
Soft cotton smooth and wide.
I’ve gained much satisfaction
From quilts I’ve made down here
And do not wish to stop it yet
For many a coming year.
My cedar chest is bursting full
But always wanting more
Thinking many quilts ahead
I return to local store.
My stash, it grows and then it shrinks
With great variety.
I wonder will there be a source
Of fabric there for me?
Will Heaven have a quilting club?
So keen I am to go
To sit with other ladies
And be content to sew.
Beyond the lovely pearly gates
If quilting there will be
My heart will overflow with joy.
I can hardly wait to see.
I’m told it is a happy spot
The Bible clearly states.
If not I think I’ll contemplate
A trip some other place.
